There is a small market at the foot of the Jackdaw Gate, where immortals live together, providing a place for people to rest and replenish.

The streets are lined with small stalls and shops, and they are slightly crowded.

There is a unique building that is spacious and exquisite, with cornices and corners, falling copper bells, light and not frivolous. Looking at the façade again, the plaque reads "Yinhai Study-Jackdaw Branch".

On the second floor of the store, the middle-aged shopkeeper with a big belly sat behind the desk and played with the abacus, and the gray-clothed junior came in with a pile of paper.

"Shopkeeper, the buying orders for the past few days are here, you can see."

Yinhai Study is the largest chain store in the Xiuzhen world, and even the horns of the Jackdaw Gate have branches. Their usual serious business is to sell books, and they have everything from scripts and playbooks, poems and songs, and exercises and cheats.

In addition, the owner also operates a business of consignment of goods, consignment/purchase, delivery of materials, delivery of news, etc., which can be described as a prosperous business and extends in all directions.

The middle-aged shopkeeper took a stack of bills and looked at it carefully: "During the foundation building period, the monk surnamed Liu requested/purchased a bottle of Yangyuan Dan." ”

"During the foundation building period, the monk surnamed Zhang entrusted the agent/purchase of the East China Sea shark pearl."

"The monk surnamed Wang in the Jindan period, entrusted to buy/purchase Wuwei Xuancao, Ruthless Spirit, and Emperor Buddha Extreme Fruit two taels each, ho, these things are not easy to find......"

The brush recorded in the shopkeeper's hand suddenly stopped.

Wait, these three things are nothing on their own, but if they are combined, they are clearly a prescription for the sequelae of recuperating Hongdan!

He immediately threw away the brush, took out a delicate wooden box from the bookshelf, and opened it, and inside was a jade transmission note depicting special words.

The shopkeeper's activation transmission note, the words on it were only half lit up, and he was not in a hurry, just waited respectfully.

After a few breaths, the other half of the characters on the symbol finally lit up.

A low, slow voice came, as if he had just woken up: "What's the matter?" ”

The shopkeeper bowed to the air: "The small one is Li Qian, the shopkeeper of the Jackdaw branch of the study, who is bothering the lord." ”

There was no sound on the other side, and he continued: "The small shop received a purchase order yesterday, and the request of the person who came was to find two taels of Wuwei Xuancao, Desperate Spirit, and Emperor Buddha Extreme Fruit. ”

This king's surname is a monk, so he is naturally Qi Ci.

All three things have been lost in the world for a long time, and it is the fastest to hand them over to Yinhai Study to find.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the person on the other side of the note was quiet, and it took a while for a while to let out a laugh.

"You're right, this is indeed the material for healing the red pill."

The shopkeeper was very surprised: "Master, there is really someone who can escape the curse of the red pill?!" ”

He has been in the Yinhai study for more than 50 years, and he has seen many people who have died from the red pill, but he has never seen anyone use the method of healing, because he can't use it at all, and it's too late.

No one in the cultivation realm has ever known that the creator of the Red Pill Evil Law is actually the master of the Yinhai Study.

The man behind the note was unhurried: "You should say that there is a fool who can fly a duck to his beak." ”

"Let's look it up. Who is the person who placed this order, and who is the one who has fallen under the curse of the red pill, I want to know all the information. ”

The shopkeeper bowed respectfully: "The little one obeys." ”

After leaving the Jackdaw Gate, Qi Ci found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and abundant spiritual energy, and prepared to take Huo Honeysuckle into his body.

He talked in detail about the basic knowledge of human body tendons, dantians, and divine senses, in fact, Huo Rendong had been more or less exposed to it before, but naturally it was not as exquisite as Qi Ci's teaching, not to mention the meticulous and accurate distribution of human body muscles and veins.

Huo Rendong had never gone to school, she listened very carefully, and even made special notes, trying not to let Qi Ci speak a second time, and occasionally asked questions immediately, basically asking the key points in every sentence, and showing the momentum to enter the Beijing scientific examination.

Qi Ci was also very satisfied with her studious attitude, and she spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. In the past, he rarely instructed others, let alone preach by hand, and he always threw his little disciples to the top of the cliff to realize by himself.

Now facing Huo Rongdong, he actually broke it and crumpled it, and an hour passed in a flash.

The "Introductory Mind Method" issued by Tianyan Sect to the disciples is just a thin volume, there are no bells and whistles, and the road is simple, just to lay a good foundation for future practice.

Huo Rongdong finished reciting it in less than a day.

Qi Ci smiled, reached out and plucked a wide leaf to cover his face, and lay down with his arms pillowed behind his head: "The mental method has been thoroughly understood, and then it is up to you to comprehend the aura by yourself." ”

"I'll try."

Huo Rongdong found a big stone in the wide and flat meadow, and sat cross-legged with his heart facing the sky. She quietly felt the wind blowing on her face, sensing the direction of the wind, where it was blowing from, and what smell it carried along the way.

The mind became extremely calm and peaceful, as if all rights and wrongs had become a thing of the past.

An hour later, Huo Rongdong stood up with a smile. Although she didn't feel the aura that Qi Ci said, she was in a happy mood, as if she could rush to the mainland with the wind in the next second.

In the evening, she washed her old linen clothes by the stream. Although Gongzi bought a new magic robe, and he didn't know what the material of the new clothes was, he was invulnerable to fire and water, and he was invulnerable, but Huo Rendong was used to being thrifty, and he was reluctant to lose a piece of sackcloth.

Under her feet is the thick and steady earth, there are aquatic plants slipping through her fingers, gurgling streams, majestic mountains, and a round of sunset gradually returning to the west.

Huo Rendong's hands were soaked in the cool stream water, she couldn't help but recall Qi Ci's teachings, only to feel that she had also become a small fish in the water, swimming farther and farther, and following the river into the river and the ocean......

The law of Taoism is difficult to name.

At that moment, she seemed to be sitting between heaven and earth, and her soul was small and big, reflecting the projection of the entire universe.

Everything around is no longer important, the only thing that is clear is the colorful jumping points of light in the air, each with a different attraction.

When Huo Rendong came back to her senses, the natural mellow Five Elements Aura traveled through the meridians around her body, and slowly returned to the dantian.

The mystery of this moment, the unity of heaven and man, cannot be described in words.

Qi Ci sat on the trunk of the tree, looking at the back of the woman standing by the stream, and smiled appreciatively.

"It is rare to enter the Tao with the spirit and enter the body in one day."

Even if it is the inner disciple of the Tianyan Sect, most of them take seven days to draw qi into the body, and some of them take several years for a longer time.

The five elements of heaven and earth treat her like a daughter, this kind of natural affinity that has never been seen before, if the Han family in Qiushui Town knows about it, I'm afraid they will regret digging out Han Lu and whipping her three hundred times, right?

The value of the darling of the Heavenly Dao, compared with making her a red pill, is more important than that, and a discerning person can know it at a glance.

After Huo Rendong introduced qi into his body, it was equivalent to officially stepping into the ranks of cultivation. However, in order to become a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, you also need to use the aura absorbed into your body freely.

So, Qi Ci taught her swordsmanship.

"There are only three basic sword techniques, and all sword techniques are evolved from it. Practice it well, and when you realize your sword intent in the future, you will be successful in the way of the sword. ”

Qi Ci put the sword back into the sheath, and the green bamboo in front of him did not move, but the bamboo leaves on the edge were silently cut in half. In her impression, the domineering and mighty Thunder Punishment Sword can also do it like this.

Huo Rongdong held the rusty iron sword in his hand and once again strengthened his faith.

It's not for revenge, it's not for the Han family to regret it. She wants to make herself stronger, to make her heart stronger.

Qi Ci's travels did not have a general direction, so in the next few days, Huo Rendong picked herbs while hurrying during the day, and seized the time to meditate and practice swordsmanship at night.

Sometimes she was so tired that she would nap on the flying sword during the day.

Qi Ci's lips moved, and he stopped talking: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard, ordinary herbs are not very useful for the poison, and you need pure spiritual things to suppress the poison." ”

The woman who was squatting on the ground and digging grass roots looked up, her forehead was sweaty, and her cheeks were covered with a thin layer of sweat, shining brightly.

"Be prepared. Even if the son doesn't use it, he can exchange it for copper coins or spirit stones when he passes through the town in the future. I've calculated, half heart lotus can buy two pills of Bigu Dan for one penny, if you change it to kudzu......"

Qi Ci, who has never worried about money since she was a child: - Let's find an opportunity to secretly throw the spirit stone into her purse.

The two made their way west, stopping outside a mortal town. The sun was about to set, and Qi Ci randomly chose a vacant hunter's house to rest.

Huo Rongdong took advantage of the fact that the sky was still a little bright, and hurriedly picked up her rusty sword and went to the hillside to practice swordsmanship.

However, the iron sword was heavy, and it didn't take long for it to sweat like rain. Huo Rongdong gasped, and inadvertently turned around, and saw Qi Ci standing on the edge of the grass hut with his arms crossed and looking at her quietly. I don't know how long I watched it, but my eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly stopped.

Then Qi Ci walked straight towards her.

His speed is neither fast nor slow, his steps are not slow. Sunset dyed his white hair orange-gold, and a belt outlined his thin waist, long legs, and extraordinarily thick and powerful shoulders and arms.

Huo Rongdong opened his eyes and returned the sword to the sheath: "Childe, what was wrong with me just now?" ”

Qi Ci pointed to the rusty iron sword in her hand: "I suddenly discovered the origin of this thing, so I took a few more looks." ”

"I think your metallic affinity is not weak, this group of people have guarded the innate spiritual objects in the sword pool for hundreds of years, such as scrap iron, but let you take it with your hands."

Huo Rongdong didn't understand, and cast a puzzled look.

"Little fool." Qi Ci laughed, "We don't lose money, we don't even see the head of the Jackdaw Sect, your tattered iron sword is not waste at all, but molten gold at sunset." ”

He pinched a fire duel, and a beam of red flame erupted from his palm and landed on the sword. Huo Rongdong opened his mouth wide in surprise, seeing that the iron sword, which was still rusty, was gradually revealing its dark red original appearance in the fire as if it had been reborn.

It's like the last glimmer of yellow light before the sun sets below sea level.

"Sunset molten gold is a real innate spiritual thing, with the sun and righteousness, specializing in overcoming ghosts and evils."

The red long sword returned to her palm, Huo Rongdong gently held it, and saw the fine and delicate lines flashing one after another, as if the flying sword was also breathing, and it was also responding to her call.

It's sunset. Peaceful, tolerant, and infinitely alive waiting for the dawn to come.

While Huo and the two were cultivating in stealth, an unexpected visitor came to the teleportation array in Qiushui Town.

A handsome man dressed in white with a jade ribbon on his hair stepped onto the stone bridge, he looked around left and right, and then went straight to Han's house.
